Winning the Battle Against Poaching by Imparting Value to Wildlife

Yes, a show of force can be a big deterrent in some areas; however, successful anti-poaching programs consist of far more than just a lot of people in uniform.

#NEW Blog post on #FirstForWildlife @wordpressdotcom Safari Club International’s Annual Convention, the ultimate sportsmen’s market, is right around the corner once again and SCI Foundation is ready to present some amazing hunting experiences up for auction to all conservation-minded members! While attending SCI’s 47th Annual Hunting Convention, there are countless tags up for auction at various events and during the daily auction. However, only a few are dedicated to conservation of the very species being hunted. For these tags a portion of the proceeds go to the entity offering the tag for onsite conservation work while the remaining funds help SCI Foundation continue to support conservation projects around the world! What’s most important about these particular tags? Conservation. SCIF activity in Alaska funding moose surveys and high way collision signs on Kenai Peninsula, bear ecology research on Kodiak Island, mule deer capture and collar with Navajo Nation and community-based markhor and urial sheep conservation in both Tajikistan and Pakistan. The lucky winners of these tags will contribute directly to conservation and sustainably harvest some of the most amazing species on the planet! Check out our blog #FirstForWildlife for all the details! Don’t miss YOUR chance to contribute to conservation efforts worldwide AND go on the hunt of a lifetime! #Conservation #Wildlife #Nature #Alaska #Kodiak #BrownBear #Tajikistan #Markhor #AcomaPueblo #Acoma #Navajo #NavajoNation #Asia #Life #Science #hunterconservationist #hunterconservationistsunite #SCIFoundation #SCIF #HuntingIsConservation #HunterPride #SCIConvention2019
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 13th, 2018 Kampala, Uganda – The African Wildlife Consultative Forum (AWCF) is being held in Kampala, Uganda from November 13-16, 2018. This marks the 16th meeting of African governments, professional hunting associations, community-based sustainable use organizations, and wildlife management experts. This year’s AWCF will be our first in Uganda and is the first time Botswana will be attending since 2014. This year’s African Wildlife Consultative Forum (AWCF) will focus on African lions and leopards, elephants and rhinos and will feature a research presentation about lion surveys in Tanzania and sustainable hunting practices in central Uganda. Community-based conservation approaches will also be highlighted in the Community Benefits of Hunting discussion featuring IUCN SULi members as well as the CAMPFIRE program in Zimbabwe, the NACSO community-based management system in Namibia, and community wildlife managers from Tanzania. AWCF will close with an optional field trip for attendees to the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Center sponsored by the Uganda Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife, and Antiquities and the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Field trips serve to not only reinforce bonds between attendees and encourage cooperation. They offer a chance for guests to witness sustainable-use and community-based conservation efforts. SCI Foundation is honored to co-host this meeting with the Uganda Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife, and Antiquities. We are thrilled to see participation from nine African nations as well as the United States and the European Union. We expect a productive meeting that will further the longstanding relationship between conservation and sustainable use in Africa. #SCIF #wildlife #nature #africa #uganda #AWCF #sustainableuse #conservation #education #nature #life #Kampala #2018 #AWCF2018 #FollowForFollow #Follow4Follow #F4F
#NEW blog post available on #FirstForWildlife @Wordpressdotcom "Illegal harvest for various local, regional and international markets remains a threat to wildlife species all over the world. Poaching is particularly problematic for rare, high value species such as elephants, rhinoceros, pangolins, and big cats. Indeed, trade in ivory and rhino horn was one of the primary drivers of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Flora and Fauna in 1975. SCI Foundation has been supporting efforts to combat poaching for many years, in Africa and around the world. Although well-equipped and trained rangers are critical to any anti-poaching effort, evidence shows that “boots on the ground” alone will not win the fight against poaching. A show of force can be a big deterrent in some areas; however, successful anti-poaching programs encourage a community-based appreciation for the value of wildlife. There must be a fundamental change in how individuals, communities and governments view wildlife. Wildlife and the habitat that supports it must be valued. Above all, those who live with wildlife every day, must be able to derive financial and/or nutritional benefit from that wildlife if it is to survive. Without the ability to use and benefit from wild flora and fauna, poaching is often seen as the only option in many areas of the world." #Wildlife #HuntingIsConservation #hunterconservationistsunite #AntiPoaching #CounterPoaching #DyckAdvisoryGroup #SCIFoundation #Life #Nature #SustainableUse #NorthAmericanModel #FollowForFollow #Follow4Follow #F4F
